Monday night sees US pop punkers Bowling for Soup play the Electric Ballroom - tickets are £18.50 each. If you want something a touch quieter, then amazing US singer/songwriter Joe Purdy plays the Borderline - tickets are £10 each. Alternatively, if you want something free then Black Kids play HMV Oxford Street at 6pm, before hurtling up to Koko to support Foals at the iTunes live festival, which will have a few free tickets on the door at 7:30.

We always recommend ethical gig trading site Scarlet Mist as your first port of call for tickets particularly when they're sold out, so check them out and beat the touts. Failing that Gumtree is always a friend.
